highlighting despite disabled global-font-lock-mode

[atstp]

My init file has (global-font-lock-mode 0) because my color vision isn't great and the slight differences I can make out are more distracting than useful -- but that's just a pity party backstory/use-case, the more applicable stuff is next.

The gist of it is that I'm getting some unwanted/unprompted highlighting.

So far I've noticed it with C-c M-j, right after the repl opens up, and load(eval)ing a buffer with C-c C-k. My previously unhighlighted clojure code becomes highlighted. When I switch to the recently highlighted window and run M-x font-lock-mode it shows Font-Lock mode enabled with no other visible change. Running M-x font-lock-mode a second time removes the highlighting and shows Font-Lock mode disabled, returning things to normal.

Another observation, when the highlighting shows, if I edit code in one of the recently highlighted windows, the new text I add is not highlighted.

Is there anything I can do to keep things unhighlighted?

In the grand scheme of things, I guess this checks in as a cosmetic edge-case, so anything on the hack-fix spectrum would be great, thanks!

emacs --version says I'm using GNU Emacs 24.3.1 on Ubuntu 14.04.3 and cider's promt prints ; CIDER 0.10.0 (package: 20151204.303) (Java 1.8.0_45-internal, Clojure 1.7.0, nREPL 0.2.12)

I'll look into this. Cider shouldn't do any highlighting if font-lock-mode is turned off.

Fixed locally. Will push when I'm back from holiday.
